The Yerwa Kanuri live in a conflict-torn region in eastern Niger along the border with Nigeria. People have gathered in the regional capital for safety. Many can’t farm because of the risk of attack, so hunger, homelessness, and poverty are widespread. There may be a few Yerwa Kanuri believers, but no church exists among them. Although the New Testament is available in print and audio, few Kanuri can access it. Turmoil makes ministry or research among them nearly impossible.
“I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10:14-15 ESV)
